Keep the appliance area clean and free from combustible materials,
gasoline and other flammable liquids.
For technical reasons regarding the gas supply, don’t use additional
support burners on the burners.
Fat and oil which become overheated can ignite automatically. Foods
prepared using fat and oil (such as fried foods) should never be left
unattended. Never try to use water to extinguish fat and oil which
has ignited! Place a lid on the pan and turn off the burner.
The glass ceramic surface is very tough and can easily withstand
light to medium impact and loads distributed over large areas. Be
sure to avoid concentrated loads (i.e. spice bottles) from falling onto
the surface.

Operating the appliance
Pay attention to the safety instructions on page 3!
Cross support for small pots
[
The cross support for
small pots can be placed
over the simmering burn-
er and onto the saucepan
support so small pots can
be safely used.
Initial cleaning
– Clean the cook top with water and some detergent.
– Wipe it again with clear water and then dry.
Using the burners
Using the various burners:
The high-speed burner is used
Notes on the right types of saucepans
- for frying meat before it is roasted,
- to bring large amounts of liquid to boil.
The normal burner is used (GKS 644.0 only)
- to prepare medium-sized portions of food,
- for frying meat.
Using the right types of saucepans will help save time and energy.
Select a saucepan with a diameter that fits the size of the burner.
The simmering burner is used
- for braising and keeping food warm
- for preparing smaller amounts of food
- for cooking food that tends to burn and stick to the bottom of the pan.
Recommended saucepan diameters:
Switching the burners on and off
High-speed burner:
22 - 24 cm (about 8-1/2 to 9-1/2 inches)
Normal burner (GKS 644.0 only): 18 - 20 cm (about 7-8 inches)
The appliance GKS 324.0 has two burners, and the GKS 644.0 has four
burners.
Simmering burner*:
12 - 16 cm (about 5-6 inches)
* Smaller saucepans can only be used on the simmering burner by using a
cross support for small pots.
Each burner has its own control knob. See the symbols on the operation
panel to determine which control knob operates which burner.
The symbols for setting the flame high , low and “OFF” (●) are located
next to the control knobs for the burners. The flame can be set to any desired
height between high and low. Begin cooking on full flame and then reduce to
a lower flame.
Notes on use:
- For technical reasons regarding the gas supply, don’t use additional support
burners on the burners.
- By using saucepans with a diameter that fits the burners, you’ll reduce the
risk of damaging or heating up the control knobs by the close proximity of
the saucepan.
– To switch on the burner, press down the
control knob and turn to the left (full
flame).
- Don’t use small saucepans on a burner that’s too large. You’ll avoid unnec-
essary energy consumption.
– After the flame has ignited, keep the
control knob depressed for a short time
(max. 10 seconds), until the flame burns
automatically when the control knob is
released.
- Don’t place an empty saucepan on a lit burner and don’t let food boil dry.
– To switch off the burner, turn the control
knob to the “OFF” (●) setting.
In case of power outage
In case of power outage, the electric ignition does not work. If a burner is in
use, it will continue to work properly and safely.
To light a burner in case of a power outage, hold a lighted match to the burner
and then press down the control knob and turn it to the left (full flame). After
about 5-10 seconds, the flame will burn automatically when the control knob
is released.
